Enjoyed some nice sprints from lights etc.
However, coming off the main road I took 'the' bend at... I would guess somewhere between 40-50 mph, in a blur the back kicked out, I mounted the curb and just before I was about to hit some railings the car straightened, not sure if that was the traction kicking in or me correcting it?
this is the bend I took, not quite 90' but not far from it either.

Hope you get it sorted quickly and sorry to hear about the damage, I'm no expert so can't offer any advice, I did attend an M Experience day so did manage to really push an M car with the TC off on the track and it's scary how easy it is to lose the back end on a corner, there's just so much power available in almost any gear. My previous steed (a 330D) I had no issues turning off the DSC but with these cars it's a whole different experience! Hope you're back on the road soon though.
